Artist: Facundo Cabral
Song: "No Soy De Aqui"
[ listen ]
Argentine singer Facundo Cabral once said, "Every morning is good news, every child that is born is good news, every just man is good news, every singer is good news, because every singer is one less soldier." I'd like to add that every male Latin-American singer who uses string arrangements in his songs, who sounds kinda' like Bob Dylan and who is pictured holding a broom on one of his LP covers is also good news. You can read all about Facundo Cabral and find lots more of his thoughtful quotes on Wikipedia here. "No Soy De Aqui" is one of the two records I found at End of an Ear in Austin last Friday when my friend John-Mark took me on an afternoon record-hunting spree. (Of course, this was only after enjoying a greasy, hearty breakfast at Arkie's Grill—where they'd been filming a movie with Jack Black and Matthew McConaughey the night before!) I forgot to take a picture of End of an Ear while I was there, but I found a nice nighttime shot of the store on the web.
